Please tell me more about maximizing the number of simultaneous users on a machine image, and how does that relate to the duty cycle on each playback.

Thanks

Thanks for asking MDecker.

The "duty cycle" is a way of thinking about the load imposed by a user on a server, and is a way to "trick" the server into thinking it has more users than it actually has, by speeding up the playback.

The idea is, the server does the work of (for example) serving 10 clients but instead of doing it over (for example) 100 seconds it does it in 10 seconds.
